Roosevelt Island Chamber Music Society presents Franz Schubert: Die Schöne Müllerin
Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 3 PM
RIVAA Gallery | 527 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, NY 10044The Roosevelt Island Chamber Music Society continues its Classical and Folk Traditions series with an intimate and deeply moving performance of Franz Schubert’s masterful song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin (The Lovely Miller-Maid).
Grammy award-winning tenor Karim Sulayman joins fortepianist and series director Yi-heng Yang for this poignant exploration of youthful longing, nature, love, and heartbreak. Widely acclaimed for their nuanced and emotionally rich interpretations of Schubert, the duo’s album Where Only Stars Can Hear Us was named one of The New York Times’ Best Classical Music Recordings of 2020 and reached #1 on the Billboard Classical Chart.
Performed on fortepiano, this historically informed presentation brings listeners closer to the intimate sound world Schubert himself would have known, allowing the poetry and music to unfold with remarkable clarity and emotional immediacy.
All are welcome. There is no entry fee, and a suggested donation of $25 for adults and $15 for students/seniors is appreciated.
The Roosevelt Island Chamber Music Society:
… (formerly known as RIVAA Gallery Concerts) was created in January 2024 by Roosevelt Island resident Yiheng Yang, who is on faculty at The Juilliard School of Music, and a leading pianist and historical keyboard player. Yang’s vision in creating these concerts was to share world-class music-making and creative collaboration between top historical performance artists and emerging young professional musicians, bringing the best of classical period performance to Roosevelt Island and New York City.
In the vibrant and inspiring setting of Roosevelt Island’s community art gallery RIVAA, this musical series is the only one of its kind offered to audiences in New York City with a specific emphasis on Classical and Romantic chamber repertoire played on historical instruments.
See you on Sunday afternoon for Chamber Music at the Roosevelt Island RIVAA Gallery.
